Bad news everyone (or good if you don't like me). SWMBO gave me the flu.

So, I will run by tyger's and drop off all the wine I have for everyone and take the wine tyger has for me. LoveLadyElectric: you can leave my 2 bottles with tyger and he'll get them to me when he and I trade next.

I'll also leave the bottle of Vranec for the C club.

tyger: check PMs.

Kinda sucks, I was so looking forward to continuing our poli-ticks thread live.

Damn. We'll miss you. Very nice of you to still drop off the Vranec (I'm sure our C club list could use some extras just in case.) Hope you feel better quickly.

(Can't you just wear one of those surgical masks and try not to cough too much on anything?)

No, no, no ... No politics at Wine tastings! Otherwise they can be Whine tastings!

Weather is safe. Maybe kids?

Edit: Is anyone bringing Cards against Humanity? Should I?

Mark is pouring one out for the homies not in attendance. You will be missed.

I actually can't make it either. I've been moving this weekend and had everything planned to be moved Thursday and Friday, but had issues with trucks and people not showing to pick up sold furniture. I should be in LA within the next two weeks, and if it's convenient then I'll drop it off.

Scott, I apologize for not giving you a bigger heads up, but I've been really busy moving things.

Ty - can you send me a link to the Shun knife set you were talking about?

For the next gathering, I propose Sparky make a thread for a pasta-making party at my house.

Will try to make a list of the wines (and new thread) tomorrow sometime.

Thanks to TyTyger and his SWMBO for hosting such a great gathering!

And RHWMBO and I add our thanks to tytiger58 and Mrs. tytiger58 for being wonderful hosts and what a spread! We really enjoyed meeting new people (Cortot20 & Mrs. Cortot20, Mark's niece & nephew, & tytiger58's daughters) and seeing "old" people! Of course we missed those of you who couldn't make it (or were sick). We certainly had more than enough wines (considering there were more bottles than people drinking)!

Can't wait to do it again. 9am mass after a night like that makes for a rough morning

Your lovely SWMBO was quite charming and up quite early, you should take lessons form her.

And now that I'm home, an official thanks for hosting and the accommodations.
Great meeting friends again and adding some new ones.
Kyle, hope you're feeling better, you were missed as were the others unable to make it.

I'll try to get the bottle pics up a bit later on as well, but why a new thread?

Sparky, find your funnel?

Thus the text last night about it!

The full album LINK Overview below.
Tytiger58 and his SWMBO were great hosts.
a bit difficult to see them all, but the album has them.
and here I should have gotten one before the severe damage was done, not much left at this point.

SWMBO and I can easily host the next gathering but were over at the 2010 and just west of the 15. If that isn't too far, the next gathering's at our place.

Sorry, but I believe zTimBz has already claimed that one.

And as many years as I've lived in SoCal, I don't remember a 2010 freeway.

While it wasn't widely popular (understatement), at an aged Zin tasting, it showed much better this evening when chilled, as it really wasn't that evening. As it warmed, it took on some of those off flavors and picked up some bitterness noted that is lacking when colder, and rather nice in it's crispness, citrus and mildly floral character. SWMBO liked it; total surprise for me!

Ditto on our part for not even coming close to making this but my CoffeeMate and I are barely keeping our heads above water with work. We'll try to get in the mix again soon. Glad you guys had a fantabulous time!
